Capcom says that the survival horrors have been "enhanced with upgraded visuals" and offers some dubious "comparison shots" of Resident Evil 4 as proof. Our mind's eye might be impeded by the haze of memory and nostalgia, but we're not certain it ever looked quite so blurry.

While the rumours suggested they'd be released as a retail bundle in Japan, they will in fact be downloadable titles for us Westerners.

The tarted-up Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica X are scheduled for release via Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network this fall. Pricing has yet to be announced.
